But what happens when those teachings leave us unprepared for intimacy? What happens when shame overshadows pleasure?In this episode of Faith AF, I’m breaking the silence. From growing up in purity culture to navigating marriage, divorce, and my own ‘vagina awakening,’ I’ll unpack how religious conditioning shaped my views on sex, desire, and self-worth—and how I began to reclaim my body and my pleasure.We’ll tackle:🔥 The double standards that let men explore while forcing women to repress🔥 The deep-seated shame that keeps so many of us disconnected from our own bodies🔥 The question no one dares to ask: Can faith and sexuality actually coexist?It’s time to challenge the narratives, confront the shame, and redefine what it means to be both sacred and sensual.Join the conversation and share your thoughts using #SacredAndSensual.Are you ready to break free? Let’s get into it.
